But Maria’s presentation of the literature helps to consolidate key insights and offer clear research-backed guidance."Lara Aknin, Distinguished Professor, Simon Fraser University"Maria Kalpidou takes a fresh approach in brilliantly weaving together theory, research evidence, and the voices of children and adolescents themselves to deepen understanding of the development of happiness and success.

    Book SynopsisFor over 30 years, Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice has been the definitive sourcebook of theoretical foundations, pedagogical and design frameworks, and curricular models for social justice teaching practice. Thoroughly revised and updated, this fourth edition continues in the tradition of its predecessors to cover the most relevant issues and controversies in social justice education (SJE) in a practical, hands-on format. Filled with ready-to-apply activities and discussion questions, this book provides teachers and facilitators with an accessible pedagogical approach to issues of oppression in classrooms. The revised edition also focuses on providing students and participants with the tools needed to apply their learning about these issues. This fourth edition includes new and revised material for each of the core chapters in the book complemented by fully developed online teaching designs, including over 150 downloadables, activities, and handouts on the book's cTrade ReviewPraise for the previous edition:"Social justice is a term that is increasingly over-used and for that reason runs the risk of becoming cliché. This volume clarifies and brings texture to the meaning of the term by addressing its relevance and importance to the field of education. For those interested in using education to counter injustice, inequality and racism, this book will be an invaluable resource." --Pedro Noguera, Author of City Schools and the American Dream"A landmark in its field, this book provides the conceptual framework, historical background, and rationale for understanding the necessity and significance of social justice education. In this second edition, the editors and authors continue to enlighten, educate, and inspire all those teachers, academics, and others who refuse to accept the status quo of oppression and instead insist on working for a better world." --Sonia Nieto, Author of Affirming Diversity: The Sociopolitical Context of Multicultural EducationTable of ContentsPART I THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF PRACTICE; 1 Theoretical Foundations for Social Justice Education; 2 Pedagogical Foundations for Social Justice Education; 3 Design and Facilitation; 4 Getting Started: Core Concepts for Social Justice Education; PART II TEACHING DIVERSITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE; 5 Racism, White Supremacy and Finding Justice for All; 6 Sexism, Heterosexism, and Trans* Oppression: An Integrated Perspective; 7 Classism; 8 Religious Oppression; 9 Ableism and Disability Justice; 10 Youth Oppression and Elder Oppression; 11 Social Justice Education Online; 12 Critical Self-Knowledge for Social Justice Educators

    Book SynopsisThis volume is the first authoritative historical textbook to look at the origins, development and evolution of seaside pierrot troupes and concert parties and their popular performance heritage. It will provide, for the first time, a definition of the pierrot troupe and its evolution from the roots of European popular traditions such as the commedia dell'arte and minstrelsy, to links between music hall and contemporary popular culture. Tony Lidington will explore how pierrot troupes grew from a single idea into a major international cultural industry and how it boosted morale and national identity during the two World Wars, before sublimating into contemporary pop music and comedy. Tony's continuing practice as research provides an experiential framework for the historical and ethnographic analysis of the form.This book will be of vital interest to students, researchers, and performers of outdoor (al fresco) arts, clowning and comedy, minstrelsyTable of ContentsList of figures Thanks!

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis fascinating book is an insightful exploration of Western perceptions and representations of Japanese culture and society, drawing on social and cultural psychological ideas around stereotypes and intercultural relations.Hinton considers how the West views the Japanese as an ideologically different âœotherâ, and proposes a cultural theory of stereotypes from which to explore Western observations of the Japanese. The book explores Western socio-cultural representations of the Japanese alongside Edward Saidâs well-known theory of Orientalism. It examines the Westâs intercultural relationship with Japan, and how this has changed over time, to show how the Japanese have been represented in the Western mind throughout history, to the present day. Hinton argues that our view of other cultures is based on our own cultural expectations, which involve complex issues of meaning-making and perceived cultural differences. This book foregrounds the research through accounts of WesternTable of ContentsPreface. 1. The Introverted Samurai. 2. Finding the Japanese in the Far East. 3. The Christian Century in Japan. 4.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Dynamics of Marginalized Youth

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book studies young people who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET); a prime concern among policymakers. Moving past common interpretations of NEETs as a homogeneous group, it asks why some youth become NEET, whereas other do not. The authors analyse diverse school-to-work patterns of young NEETs in five typical countries and investigate the role of individual characteristics, countries' institutions and policies, and their complex interplay.Readers will come to understand youth marginalization as a process that may occur during the transition from school, vocational college, or university to work. By studying longitudinal analyses of processes and transitions, readers will gain the crucial insight that NEETs are not equally vulnerable, and that most NEETs will find their way back to the labour market. However, they will also see that in all countries, a group of long-term NEETs exists. These exceptionally vulnerable young people are sidelined from soTable of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis Social Work Practice During Times of Disaster

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDisasters affect people individually and collectively in their communities, national societies, and the international sphere and in any setting from the home to the planetary level. Furthermore, these disasters can be complex, multi-layered and what happens in one location can affect sentient beings elsewhere directly and/or indirectly. These create interdependencies between people, the flora, fauna, and physical environment that require the holistic, transdisciplinary approaches to disasters that are advocated by green social work perspectives.Using case studies drawn from practice and research to explore the skills and knowledge needed by social workers to practice within disaster situations, this book illustrates what good social work practice during times of disaster looks like. It highlights the theories, skills and expertise needed to intervene effectively in specific disaster situations and provides case studies as a major vehicle for considering ethical dilemmas and sTable of Contents1.Introduction.

    Heritage, Indigenous Doing and Wellbeing presents an Aboriginal Australian relational understanding of the world that offers a counter-narrative to the Western notion of heritage and new insights into the potential for sustaining the complex systems that support all life.From an Indigenous Australian perspective, the Western concept of heritage is intentionally exclusionary and supports social, political, economic, and environmental injustice. Aboriginal People engage with landscape every day in entirely, different ways, seeing Country as a living âheritageâ, but in a unique relationship form that engages the individual with place, ancestors, language, and wellbeing. However, Country is most often relegated by heritage proponents to âintangible heritageâ, and this results in the concept having little legislative, legal, or administrative weight. Drawing on a common understanding of Country as sacred, living, and sentient, rather than as objectifi
